Interview
summary
Concrete rules for async code and where to start: prefer return Task or ValueTask and never use async void, add a CancellationToken to APIs when possible, and libraries call ConfigureAwait(false). Migrate I/O-bound entry points first (database, files, sockets, HTTPClient), make methods async so the call stack flows, keep async/await sequential initially, then introduce explicit concurrency only for measured gains like parallel HTTP calls or taking the first response.
